The FBSD handbook gives the idea that IPFW is the only firewall.
FBSD also comes with ipfilter which is much easier to use and
sertup. Google the questions archives for loads of info about
configuring ipfilter. You will be glade you did.

Subject: Firewall rules

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a firewall with ipfw by using the client
firewall type given in rc.firewall as an example. My problem
is that the client rules don't allow me to do common
web-browsing. What should I add to the script to
resolve this without seriously compromising security?

cheers,
Mihail
